Priya Sachdev pays emotional birthday tribute to late husband Sunjay Kapur amid legal battle with Karisma Kapoor's kids: 'I know you are watching over me'

Priya Sachdev pens birthday tribute for Sunjay Kapur

Karisma Kapoor is currently entangled in a legal battle with Priya Sachdev over her late ex-husband, Sunjay Kapur’s will. Karisma’s kids have accused, through their lawyers, that Priya has fabricated the will.

Amid all this, Priya took to her Instagram and penned an emotional tribute to Sunjay Kapur on his birth anniversary. She shared a video montage and admitted that she can still feel his presence “like quiet strength beside” her. Priya also thanked him for his “eternal love”.

Priya started her caption with the Bhagavad Gita verse that reads, “Whatever action a great man performs, others follow. Whatever path he walks, the world pursues. He who lives with purpose and love never perishes, For the divine dwells in all who serve with devotion.”

Priya then noted in the caption that Sunjay followed these words and took strength from them and penned, “You lived these words without ever needing to speak them. You led with kindness, not command. You built with courage, not pride. You gave without expecting, because giving was your nature.”

“I watched you move through storms with grace, carry burdens with calm, and turn every challenge into purpose. You never spoke of faith, you lived it. You believed in doing, not declaring. Even now, your presence feels like quiet strength beside me. In the laughter of our son. In the walls you built with vision. In the stillness of evenings where I feel your peace,” added Priya.

Priya concluded her post by writing, “They say a great man’s actions guide the world, but for me, your greatest act was how you loved, selflessly and completely. Some souls don’t depart; they expand. You are everywhere, yet still right here. My Sunjay, I know you are watching over me. Happy Birthday, J.”

From their wedding and Karwa Chauth celebration to dancing joyfully with their son, spending time with the entire family, and taking vacations together, the video was a montage of happy moments Priya and Sunjay shared.

Although Karisma isn't shown in the montage, her kids are. Priya also added pictures of herself with Rani, her mother-in-law.

Additionally, Sunjay narrates the video, discussing his experiences as a husband and father.

In the video, Sunjay said, “I'm here to protect my family. I'm here to make sure I pass on the right values to my children and to my family, and to continue to uphold a certain vision for growth, for honesty, trust, and love and respect.”

The video ended with Priya and a picture of Sunjay in the background.

A visibly emotional Priya says in the video, “My Sunjay, you taught us how to visualise and dream big. To believe in ourself in continuous self improvement. That was your mantra. To do our duties and Dharma. Your vision will always be alive. You will always stay in motion. You are the best husband, father, friend, and human being I know. Thank you for your eternal love.”

For the unversed, Sunjay Kapur, the chairman of Sona Comstar, a well-known auto parts manufacturer, passed away this year in June while playing Polo in London. He was married to Karisma from 2003 to 2016. They share two kids, Kiaan and Samaira. In 2017, Sunjay wed Priya.
